Check the website, I got a message from IBM saying they had an update for me, but I responded to it too late for them to respond

Slight schedule change for OC airshow Saturday.

OCEAN CITY - OC Air Show officials announced a schedule update for Saturday due to the weather forecast.
The OC Air Show says on Saturday, June 14, the event will kick off 30 minutes early, at 11:30 a.m. The change comes as storms are in the forecast. The event is expected to last 3 hours start to finish.
The Air Show will also take place on Sunday, June 15. This year's show will feature the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, the F-16 Viper Demo Team, the West Point Parachute Team, an A-10 Thunderbolt II Cas Demo, and more.

Guess tanks in DC parade will be ok in the rain :)

Sure is nasty out here in NE Maryland.. East winds spreading smoke from Burlington NJ
forest fire.. Never seen or smelled it so bad.. Hopefully clears up soon.
Weekends have been tough weather wise lately. Local News said the last nice weekend we had was Mothers Day weekend.

Guys,

I have put OC & Wallops freqs in scanner. Doubt I'll get anything. I'm about 75 miles from them and I'm sure the acft will be too low for my radio horizon. But----one never knows. To quote one of my old sergeants, " Son, you'll never know what you can hear until you put up the antenna."

Notice on ADS-B that Epic 42 & 43 are running orbits at 900ft between OC & Wallops.

I wanted to share this info for those who would like it.

This is a list of the Boeing KC-46A test aircraft that I have:

11-46001, N461FT, A59DE1, 11 test flights (configured as a 767-2C)
11-46002, N464KC, A5A95B, 60 test flights (configured as a KC-46A)
11-46003, N463FT, A5A54F, 04 test flights (configured as a 767-2C)
11-46004, N462KC, A5A1ED, 40 test flights (configured as a KC-46A)

Boeing list the following aircraft as being owned by the U. S. Air Force but seem to be utilized as test beds at Boeing:

15-46005, N842BA, AB8761, 48 test flights
11-46006, N884BA, AC2CCB, 04 test flights

Looks like NORAD running a Calgary CAP with local tanker HOSER-1 out of Cold Lake and maybe some CF/18 Hornets?

Based on disgruntled comments I'm seeing on Facebook, it looks like the Ocean City show today has been cancelled. I almost went down this morning, but had missed the news that it was starting early at 11:30. I had the car loaded with camera gear when I found out, but at that point I felt like I wouldn't get there in time for the F/A-18s. So I never departed - fortunately! ;)
